Please let me know if there is other appropriate mailing list to
report this problem. I am looking at the package gerris. This package
has a FTBFS bug reported (along with a patch) against it 300 days ago.
The bug report can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=300446 . There was no
response from the maintainer since all these days. What can be done to
improve this situation?
